Like the title says, I would like to find a good online course with readings and supplemental lectures. I have poked around a bit and found syllabi available, but what I really miss about university is good lectures. I would appreciate mid/higher level courses rather than intro as I've already completed a degree in literature. I know there are tons of resources but I want something outlined and scaffolded that I can follow along with in my free time. I want it all there together, not spread out over lots of sources. I do not want to make my own course.

More specifically, I'm looking to deepen my knowledge of poetry written before free verse took over. Any help is appreciated :)

  • Baylor University has 100 days of Dante where there are professor lectures for each Canto from the Divine Comedy. You can start at anytime and if you sign up, they will email the link to the lecture, some questions to consider. They also have the entire text on their website.

    On Open Culture there is a hodgepodge of lectures on literature an poetry.

    Oh, I forgot about Open Culture. I used to have that bookmarked. Dante would be great too. I am reading Chaucer now and was considering reading him next. Thanks!
